Your new computer most likely has 2 IDE connectors on the motherboard so you can connect up to 4 drives total. Each IDE connector should have a cable connected to it that allows the connection of 2 drives. One must be jumpered as MASTER and one as SLAVE. Each drive must also be connect to power via the Molex connector.
The BIOS should detect the drives if they are configured properly. Be sure to save the BIOS settings after the drives are detected.
